I like to pick up coin sets with a history to them

Especially local numismatic history. A couple weeks ago I purchased a 1963 proof set from Cyprus. It came with the original packaging. The set was originally sent to Harold Rice. Rice was a local coin dealer and although he has since died, his son still runs the shop at the same location. I bought it from someone who had purchased an old time collection in the Rochester, NY area.

    That's great! I like the wine stamps. That is wine, yes?

    Either that or blood.

    Perhaps the knight is drinking the blood of his enemies.

    Well, if you ever get bored of Cyprus' historical items, you know who to PM. image

    Why would a knight go to the trouble of putting the blood of his enemies in a wine glass?

    Cool set!

    I have some sets from the Bahamas and Australia in the original shipping cartons. I wish I had some 1960's and earlier RCm stuff, though. image
